rays alone would serve to separate both species from all other Ameri- 

 can forms. 



This species does not reach a large size. The largest specimen 

 examined cU.S.N.AI. No. 128376), collected by S. F. Hildebrand, at 

 Balboa, Canal Zone, Panama, has a length of 80 mm. The usual 

 length (Herre, 1936, p. 30; Fowler, 1944, p. 206) is 42 to 53 mm. 



The range of Harengula peruana extends from Panama Bay south- 

 ward to Peru. 



In addition to the holotype, 8 lots with 34 specimens were examined.
